Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner on the ‘Path to Healing’ Following Custody Resolution
Earlier this week, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner agreed on a custody schedule for their two daughters, three-year-old Willa and 14-month-old Delphine. The former couple faced a trial after Turner launched a lawsuit against Jonas, but were able to make a decision together on how time would be split for a healthy co-parenting relationship. A source speaking with US Weekly said that the agreement is helping them “heal.”
“They’re on the path to healing and to being healthy co-parents. They’re both on the same page,” said the insider. “It’s definitely not as contentious now. They’re taking steps forward.”
They added, “They spoke recently and it was amicable, and that triggered a quicker resolution. They did it for the kids’ sake and didn’t want to drag it out.”
Both parents are happy with the new agreement.
“Joe’s excited to resolve everything. He’s so happy it’s going in the right direction,” the source said. “All he wanted was a resolution. Sophie is the mother of his kids, so he doesn’t want a contentious breakup.”
The pop star filed for divorce from the actress in September after four years of marriage. It has been rumored that Turner has wanted to move back to the U.K. for some time after agreeing to start their family in Miami. In her lawsuit, she accused Jonas of wrongfully retaining their kids in the U.S. She is now permitted to leave the country with the girls and they will trade off throughout the year, including major holidays. Thanksgiving is given to Jonas and Christmas to Turner.
After the dispute was settled, Turner and Jonas issued a joint statement saying, “After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K. We look forward to being great co-parents.”
